THE FISH BILL.
This important act of legislation, we
learn from the Harrisburg Telegraph, litis
received the signature of the Executive, ,
and is therfore a, law. The bill as passed <
liiutlly is very nearly similar to the shape
in which it wtis jjresented to the legisla- i
ture by the Executive Committee, aj>- ■
jKiinted by the State Convention called
for {hat purpose and held in Harrisburg j (
la.-t fall. The amendments em brace an
extension of the operation- of the bill to
the Sivatara and certain other streams
not named in the original hill ; appoint
ing hut one commissioner, instead of one
and two assistants; reduces the jer diem i
pay of the commissioner from ten to six ,
dollars; and cuts ofTthe section prohibit- •
iug the construction of fish dams and
fish baskets in any parts of the streams
indicated in the bill. If we except the
the last, it will lie seen that none of these
amendments are of an imjMirtant nature;
and even the exclusion of the fish basket
section i- a matter of very little moment, j
for these already are prohibited under a
-were penalty in the Susquehanna, the .
North and West Branches and the J.unia- '
ta hy the law of lsMfi. The section, there- 1
fore, was deemed unnecessary, and might
with propriety have been left out of the
bill when it was originated. The bill in
the shape in which it has become a law
meets with the hearty aj>proval of the
Executive Committee, ami other friends j
uf tin i-'i-h Restoration measure,aslieing
in every sense adapted t<> secure the great
object in view.
We presume that in aeeordtiiue wilh
the provision— of the law, the Governor
will immediately appoint a commission
er, who will proceed at once to the per
formance of tlieduticsonjoincd upon hint
in the streams, in order that the several
corporations or other parties owning the
dams in the streams indicated in the law
may proceed to alter them in the pre
scribed manner; and as tln .-e alterations
are required to be made by the first of
next October, it is jiossiiile that by next :
spring we may be able to regale ourselves
with a really/. < -7/ shad, at a very trifling
expense.

Another Fire in the Oil Regions,
f PirrKOi.Kt/M CKXTHK, March 31.
•The most disastrous fire ever known in
. this vicinity, .commenced about 8 o'clock
1 this morning on the Hyde and Egbert
farm; and lasted until 3 o'clock this after
noon. The tire originated froiu a ga- pipe
\ running from a tank of the Burlington
1 well to ti dwelling. At the time there
was a very strong wind. The burning
oil running down the hill set fire to the
• famous Coqyette tank. The flames rush
'* ing towards the creek swept everything
1 before tlicNi, and on reaching the creek
set tire to some six hundred barrels which
. were tilled and lyingon the bank, togeth
e cr witJi seventeen tanks of oil. All were
1 destroyed, Some eleven or twelve boats
lying in the creek, loaded for shipment,
j also took tire and were destroyed. At
s one time tin' creek was a vast sheet of
v flame. The bridge which tlividcs the
town of Petroleum Centre from tlie farms
alluded to took tire several times, thus
endangering the plaee, but the flame
were finally cxtinguislied. There was
( nothing hurn*l on thi- side of the creek.
~ The fire could be seen for miles around.
There was one-halt mile of tin me. Some
s thirty wells were hurtled, besides various
1 engine houses, engines, derricks and
• tanks; also several dwellings. The most
intense excitement prevailed at the time.
The loss i- abdtif 2">.ooo barrel- of oil, and
c sli'o.oou in projierty. At four o£cloek the
, tire was extinguished, and everything
- was quiet.

A Man Divorced for Months "Without Know
ing it.
A curious petition has been present
ed to the Pennsylvania Legislature by
a man named Warren Johnson, of Pot
ter county. lie swears that lie lias
recently discovered that his wife pro
cured a divorce last winter without
his knowing that she had made an ap
plication for such a divorce. ILe was
fii*st informed that such an act had
been passed by seeing it in the pub
lished laws. Jle also says that she de
serted him without any cause to his
knowledge, and that the court had lull
jurisdiction in tlx?case. The affidavit
is fortified by a document signed by
forty-two citizens of Potter county,
who say they knew both parties; that
he is an honorable, upright man and
indulgent husband; and that bis wife
deseited him without anv reasonable
cause, and has refused to live with hiin
for the last two or three years. This
is probably the first case presented to
our Solons where it lias been sought to
repeal an act annulling a marriagecon
tract, and although he may probably
merit sympathy, what must have been
liis intelligence and shrewdness when
he could be divorced for months with
out knowing it. although his late wife
resided in the same county ?

irgiuia. on .March 4, aged 7 s years.
J lie deceased was a native of Scotland
and was originally a Presbyterian, but
withdrew from that church in l s l2.
and received baptism by immersion
the same year. Jn connection with
his father, the Kev. Thomas Campbell,
i be formed several congregations which
united with a Baptist association, but
protested against all human creeds as
a bond of union, accepting the Bible
alone as the rule of faith and practice.
Being excluded from the fellowship of
the Baptist Churches, in ISJ7.1 S J7. his fol
lowers began to organize into a sepa
rate body, which has spread in ail
| parts of the 1 nilcd States, especially I
in \ irgiuia, Tennessee and Kentucky,
fliu number of Disciples was estimat
ed in altogether, at about 2."i0.00<J
mom hers , of whom only a small num
ber belonged to (.Beat Britain,
j Jn IS4I, Alexander Campbell found-i
ed Bethany College, of which he re
mained President until his death. Jle
aimed to keep clear of the anli Slave
ry agitation, and the majority of his
churches sympathized with him.
